Mapping Language
Maps have long been understood as texts, encumbered with internal and socio‐contextual meanings and evoking different ways of interpreting, representing or writing space. However, the abstraction of mapping as language can obscure the important role of maps in identifying and organising languages, rendering names and scripts and (in)visibilising minority speakers. In this conversational piece, we reflect on our experience of working with and on m…

Tiny traces
This review discusses the temporary exhibition, Tiny Traces: African & Asian Children at London's Foundling Hospital, which offers an insight into the lives of children from the African and Asian diasporas at the Foundling Hospital in Georgian London. Presenting the findings of new research undertaken in the Hospital's archive, the exhibition reveals the untold stories of fourteen African and Asian children. More broadly, the exhibition traces th…
Historical geographies of place naming
European colonialism sought to inscribe order and meaning on non-European landscapes through the process of place naming. Naming or renaming was fundamental to the extension of imperial control over physical and human environments. This article offers a brief overview of the ways critical place name studies has addressed these colonial practices. In particular, the paper examines the power relationships inherent in place naming, asks questions ab…

Creative Dislocation
This article introduces an experiment in collaborative historical practice. It describes how six historians visited the East Devon village of Branscombe, with the aim of creatively engaging with the present and past of the village. This was a collaborative and collective act of what we term here 'creative dislocation'. By dislocating from our usual routines, subjects, places, methods, and styles, and adopting creative methods and constraints, we …
Play and Pedagogy in Art History and Material Culture
Colour
This book is the catalogue for the exhibition of the same title that was staged at the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge in 2016. It gives detailed and scholarly entries on each of the manuscripts exhibited (more than 150 in total) and provides fourteen thematic essays, one for each of the sections of the exhibition. Though it was useful to have copies of the catalogue available in the gallery space at the Museum (and many visitors consulted them o…
Making and Meaning
Recent Developments in British Art Education
Developments inside and outside the contemporary academy and the continuing proliferation of free art schools call for serious assessment of those alternative models of art education. While acknowledging the wider global trend in free schools and the context that provides, this paper suggests that an understanding of such tendencies in Britain might more usefully be framed within the recent history of British art education, particularly since the…
Sensory Experience in Medieval Devotion
Inwardness and interiority are concepts that have a multifaceted currency within many areas of medieval studies. These fields include, but are not limited to, historical studies, theology and religious studies, literary studies, and art history. Studies on inwardness, interiority, and selfhood intersect with an interest in what has often been called “popular religion” and in devotional behavior, both clerical and lay, to produce an engagement, ac…

Site, Seeing and Salvation in Fourteenth‐century Avignon
This article explores anew the well‐known frescoes by Simone Martini above the entrance to the Cathedral of Notre‐Dame‐des‐Doms in Avignon. A new reading is facilitated in three ways: by considering the full range of possible iconographic and stylistic sources for these frescoes; by considering the content of the lost side‐wall frescoes as well as the surviving frescoes; and by calling into question the methodologies and assumptions about influen…
